I get asked about wheels for the Beat every month, so here is a short guide.
The Beat is staggered from the factory: smaller tires on the front, larger on the rear. Stock sizes:
| Axle | Tire | Wheel |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 165/55R14 | 14x4.5 |
| Rear | 195/50R15 | 15x5.5 |
Rules of thumb
- Keep the overall diameter within about 3 percent of stock or the speedometer will drift.
- Bigger is not better on a 760 kg car. Unsprung weight is the enemy.
- If you want to run square, go for a lightweight wheel and check clearance at full lock before you buy.
Post your own setups below with offset and tire sizes and I will add them to the table.
